to Explore
Looking back,
I gazed at the path I had made . . .
And I thought,
about myself,
about the paths I had walked,
and the new direction I was
heading.
And suddenly,
I realized . . .
how small I was,
and how insecure I was,
and how big the world was-
and how lonely the new path was;
and I wanted to turn back.
But as I turned
and looked back . . .
the wind had blown out my tracks.
So I walked on forward,
and didn’t look back again.

Responding to
Adventures Is Fun
Is there really any fun in being sen¬
tenced to five years? It could be; it is all
in the way you look at it. While some of
us took regular trips to the library to
browse around, to read the newspapers,
to check out a book, or to do research
for themes or term papers, others per¬
formed skits, gave book reports, watched
movies, and played word games all in the
name of English.

foreign country if you didn't speak
French or Spanish. Those who didn't
take a foreign language almost wished
they had when they learned of the trip
to Europe. A week was spent in Europe
with the Spanish students in Spain and
the French students in France.

You Cant Fool
Mother Nature
No need to call the fire department, it's
only the burning desire of the chemistry stu¬
dents to perform fiery experiments. No
need to call the school nurse, (if we had
had one) it’s only the biology students dis¬
secting earth worms and frogs. And don’t
call the truant officer, it's only the eco¬
logy students taking a walk along the na¬
ture trail. Exploring Mother Nature makes
one more appreciative as he walks down
the trail of life.

History Comes Alive
"Will you marry me?" "Give me liberty or
give me death!" Sometimes we confused Socio¬
logy and American History. But learning quo¬
tations isn't the only thing we did in Social
Studies. We learned about the climate in
geography while in humanities, we learned
about the culture of man. Williamsburg and
Richmond became more than just the names of
two cities after we finished studying Virginia
Government and Virginia History. After we
have finished high school, the things we learned
in Social Studies will make us or break us.
In Sociology Class, some people spend their time concentrating
on their assignment, while others enjoy bugging Coach Bishop.

Math Students Play
Numbers Game
From General Business to Advanced Math
our minds were filled with millions of num¬
bers. Sometimes we did not know whether to
add, subtract, multiply, or divide, but with the
teachers' help, we finally arrived at the correct
answer. Some were glad that only two years of
Math were required, while others studied fur¬
ther into theorms and complicated equations.
Trying to prove that x=y wasn't always easy,
and solving problems that took three sheets of
paper wasn't easy either. Striving to get high
grades in Math also made us think logically for
ourselves.
Mr. Jesse makes sure that Denny Farmer solves a math problem
correctly.

Knowing how to work all the

Training; learning to drive is last
but certainly not least. Parallel park¬
ing was one of the hardest things to
learn and keeping within the speed
limit wasn't easy. From back gravel
roads to the interstate, practice
makes perfect.

Exercise Produces
Physical Fitness
Milk builds strong bodies, so does
plenty of exercise and that is just what
the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades got. Chewing
gum in the gym meant running laps and
sweeping the floor. Winter could find the co¬
ed gym classes playing kick ball or working
on the trampoline, rings, horse, or parallel
bars. Spring would find the classes on the
track or softball field. Working for the Presi¬
dent's Physical Fitness awards was hard but
displaying the patch was easier.

Healthy Knowledge
Learning how the blood circulates
through the body and the chambers of
the heart was part of health class. The
eighth graders spent the year in health
learning about their bodies and hygiene.
If you happened to walk in a room with
people lying on the floor with splints on
their legs and their heads wrapped up,
it wasn’t the clinic, it was a ninth
grade health class. The tenth grade
spend their last year of health class
learning how to yield the right of way,
how to stay within the speed limits,
and how to drive a car.

wise part but the wealthy part could be true.
After the morning classes, the D.E. stu¬
dents left for work. Other D.E. students got
up early for jobs and came to school in the
afternoon. These students missed activities
of the school such as assemblies, but the
experience and knowledge they gained from
their jobs made up for these. For many,
these jobs could be a lifetime job, for
others, a stepping stone to higher jobs.

A chicken hadn't been scratching on this
page, this was shorthand. Taking dictation
was okay, if you could read what you had
written. A, S, D, F, J, K, L; first year
typing students had these letters running
through their heads. Second year students had
problems, too. Tabulation problems could
cause a headache. Filing records and learning
correct office procedures were all a part of the
business department. The duplicating machine
sometimes made funny noises but usually the
stenciled copies came out right.

Future Careers
Catching the bus in the pouring rain is not
much fun. The fun came after we got to the
technical school. Some of us went to practical
nursing and cosmetology while others went to
masonery and auto mechanics. The people who
attended the technical school were priviledged
to belong to the Vocational Industrial Clubs of
America. Having had technical training, we
are now prepared to go out into the world and
find a place for ourselves.
It wasn't until spring that we changed loca¬
tions from the old Washington County Techni¬
cal School to the new Neff Vocational complex.
Charlie Poole, Howard Barker, and Andy Trent work
patiently to acquire skills in Electronics.
Welding looks fun as well as interesting. Greg Sykes and Jeff

Chips and Shavings
All the splinters, bruises and bloody
fingers weren't so bad after that first
picture frame, gun rack or knife holder

wood made trees look much prettier.
The smell of varnish and shellac, and
the sound of saws and sanders filled

we had, luckily the fire didn't ruin too many
plants. Some flowers were burned by too
much fertilizer, because unfortunately
everyone was not blessed with green
thumbs .
Learning to mix soil and fertilizer is a basic thing in
horticulture. Karen Scott takes pleasure in this.
Talk about getting your fingernails dirty! Wonder if Ruth

came when knees were "kicked up" at

came as we marched from sun-up to
sun-down; and the tears flowed when
we got a II rating at the Bristol Band
Festival. The year wasn't totally lost

for the regional special Olympics
track meet. The class is made up of

The students also took part in home

courses at the technical school. The

True Art Forms
Drawing pictures and coloring a painting
are all a part of art, but art involves other
things as well. Hooking rugs, sculpting,
stitchery, making afgans, and embroidery
are part of it also. Expressing one's self
on paper is fine but expressing interest in
other ways is important, too. On the walls
near the art room, colorful pictures drawn
by the art students were displayed. Pastels
and crayons added to the drab green walls.
Painting isn't all you do in art. Rick Murray proves this as
he embroiders on a piece of burlap.
Ronnie Coleman expresses his talent by painting a nature scene
in art class.
Freddy Goodson and Fred Dye work together to scale a picture in

Free for an Hour
A time to study? For some. A time to
sleep, to talk, to do homework for others.
A free period in a long day to do whatever
is necessary. Some spent their study
period picking up absentee slips, working
in the office, or being a gym assistant.
Senior study was quite different. More
freedom was given so long as it was not
abused.
Studying means hard concentration for Alice Nash, Ruth
Lewis, and Terry Thomas.
Shelia Cunningham, Kathy Russell, Allen Call, Peggy Cox, and
Stephen James study together in Senior Study.
Debra Morrison, Clyde Anderson, and Danny Rasnake Bruce Johnson and Bobby Derting enjoy their study hall listening to

Quality Education
Paramount Goal
Quality education for the students of
Washington County and good teaching con¬
ditions in comfortable buildings were some
of the many goals for which the school board
aimed. A new superintendent. Dr. N.
Grant Tubbs, came in time to help formu¬
late policies and programs of action. Stu¬
dents, parents and other interested patrons
served with members of the school board in
an advisory capacity; and, for the first time,
patrons served on committees for selection
of textbooks.
In true "Falcon" spirit, the school
board and the staff of the school board of¬
fice exhibited a wingspan that encouraged
Washington County schools to soar to new
heights with pride.

Educators Share
Time, Talent,
and Inspiration
From the ringing of the first bell in Au¬
gust when school began until the strains of
"Pomp and Circumstance" were played at
graduation, teachers were friends- con¬
ducting heart-to-heart talks; performers -
unveiling their talents; chaperons- touring
with students on trips to France, Spain
and Florida; and educators- sharing the
love of knowledge.

You say the coffee "pot" was in the
hole? We just had to have that second
cup of coffee especially on early morn¬
ing duty. Lunchroom duty left little
time for extra coffee. Two weeks of
pre-school conferences and in-service
training created mixed emotions and
one could hear gripes, and complaints,
as well as sighs of relief when classes
were shortened or eliminated. It just
goes to show that some of us live to
teach and others just teach to live.

A Loving Tribute
to Two Teachers
21 gun salute! No less than this is
deserved by Mrs. Beatrice Cox and
Mrs. Jeannette Hargroves. Their
years of service and dedication stand
as an inspiration to all who enter the
teaching profession. Mrs. Cox made
us realize our world was exciting and
a challenge to all. Her contagious en¬
thusiasm for knowledge had to have an
effect on all around her. Mrs. Har¬
groves impressed her students as a
person and a teacher. Having taught
in both Science and Home Economics
departments, she has influenced many
students.
Mrs. Hargroves takes time for a disucssion with Leslie Cox.
Mrs. Cox had perfect rapport with her class at all times.

Starting All
Over Again
It seemed as though Abingdon High
School was going to be controlled by
eighth graders as they came in full
force this year. They may have been
just a little confused as room numbers
and hallways all seemed to look alike.
They found themselves being afraid of
the upper classmen, dreading physical
education only to like it later, and
being scared but at the same time eager
to eat their own cooking in Home Ec.
They showed they were not firm believers
in Women's Lib as their class was
guided by all male officers. They came
through, like all the others before them,
and took their place at Abingdon High
School.
After the school year began the following eighth grade officers were
elected: Timmy Anderson, Sec. , Bobby Farnsworth, Pres. , Mike
Heisler, Vice Pres. , Robert Hilt, Reporter.

Hitch Your Float to
the Right Wagon
The biggest lesson learned this year
was to put our float on the right wagon. We
became involved in other activies as some
of us took Math 9 others tackled geometry.
We all struggled through Medical Self-
help while others contributed to the suc¬
cess of the advertising campaign and
circulation drive of the Beacon. For some
of us, the best was yet to come, as a
selected few were drafted into the new
world of "A" band. Most of all, we enjoyed
not being on the bottom and being able to
pick on the eighth graders.

Beware!
Sophomores
Licensed to Drive
Being an upper classman involved going
to the assemblies and standing for the
Seniors, as well as playing both girls and
boys varsity sports. This was the last year
of carrying home gym suits and taking
showers. All of this made us feel big and
important. As some of the sophomores
were getting their licenses to drive, the
rest of the student body stayed out of their
way, and off the road. Some of us were
failing Biology as we used our surgical,
skills on innocent frogs, while the smarter
ones didn't take Biology. We all seemed to
make it though, and moved on up the road
to bigger and better things.
Front Row: Alice Dobyns, Reporter, Ann Maiden, Sec. , Betty Jo Roark,
S erge ant- at-Arms , Tom Derting, Pres. , Melissa Easterly, Treasurer,
Larry Bales, Head Sponsor, comprise the Sophomore top brass.

Second From
the Top
The road to the top is a rough and
rocky one. The year was filled with
many activities and hard work for the
junior class. The sale of magazines
was the first and most successful pro¬
ject. Many junior homeroom sessions
were held to encourage the class to work
and to collect money. Unfortunately all
candy is not so sweet-- the Tootsie Roll
sales weren't very successful. The class
frantically made last minute plans and
preparations for the prom. When juniors
weren't selling things, they were studying
U. S. History, English, foreign languages,
physics, chemistry. Algebra II, band and
other elective courses. Ordering and
receiving class rings were pleasures
that brought the juniors one step closer
to becoming seniors.

It Is Time
for a Change
After four previous years, wishing
and waiting we finally made it. Reaching
the top isn't all peaches and cream. Re¬
alizing that after this year we won't have
Abingdon High School to depend on can
be mind baffling. Things changed this
year. The Senior courtyard was closed
due to apathetic attitude toward it. In¬
stead of a 3 act Senior play, one One-
act play was rehearsed. Graduation ac¬
tivities were added to as we had a class
night for parents and close friends.
Mixed emotions prevailed in the class as
graduation time came near.

lanie Harris, Vice President; Lee Phipps, Treasurer;
Sally Hill, President; Judy Grantham, Historian; Beth
Hughes, Secretary; Terry Corvin, Reporter; Mike

Falcons Dare
to Conquer
It is defeat that turns bone to flint,
and gristle to muscle, and makes men
invincible, and formed those heroic
natures that are now in ascendency in
the world.
Do not then be afraid of defeat.
You are never so near to victory
as when defeated in a good cause.

Losers Never Win; Winners Never Lose
Football is discipline - when friends
are getting together at the local hangout
after school, the players are hitting the
seven-man sleds or running agility
drills. Football is courage - it is losing,
and then instead of quitting, the team
does what it takes to return to the field
and face another challenger. Football is
cooperation - the team members learn
to depend upon and work with others.
The Falcons won two games and lost
eight on the gridiron. According to the
scoreboard, this was a losing season,
but because football is more than a
game, the team won. They won experi¬
ence, knowledge, and self-discipline -
qualities that will be beneficial in the
greater game of life.

Victory Over Blue Devils Highlights Year
Gosh! It sure was hot August 10.
Would it be worth all the aching mus¬
cles, bruises, and sweaty uniforms,
to become a Falcon J. V. footballer?
Ask a J. V. this question and he would
say it was worth it all because the
experience he gained would be useful
in future varsity competition.
The experience gained was shown
through the season record of the
young Falcons. Through the first six
games they had three losses and
three ties and then finished the season
with three straight wins for a record
of 3-3-3-.
The highlight of the J. V. season

8th Grade Football
Gridiron Greats
Begin Training
Only seconds remained and it was
the last play of the first game. The
quarterback raced 65 yards for the
winning touchdown. In the home game
with Gate City, it was first and goal at
the Falcon four yard line with one min¬
ute left to play. The Falcon defense
stopped the Blue Devils with a yard loss
on fourth down then ran out the clock
with a 14-6 victory. The final game was
at Marion. At the end of three quarters
the score was 6-6. Then a well-executed
punt return team raised the score to 14-
6 and again the defense was put to the
test and met the challenge with poise.
Eight wins and three losses seemed
quite an enviable record for twenty-
seven eighth graders, their coaches,
and faithful fans.
Twenty-seven eighth graders look up to three tall
men-on the football field during practice and in
everyday life.

Falcons Will
Rise Again
According to the press, Falcons were
stopped, pasted, clobbered, trounced,
beaten, topped, defensed, defeated and
they bowed, tumbled, and fell. They also
winged, rolled and got by some teams.
Falcons are by nature proud, high-flying,
and distinctive; the young and inexperi¬
enced fledgling attempts great things but
he does not sink into permanent depre-
sion if at first he does not succeed. He
sets his sights on other goals and seeks
to attain them. With a record of 5-14 at
the end of regular season play, we sought
new goals.

Foul Weather in Falconland
It's been a long, hard winter. Not
much snow but the whole season wras just
not good Falcon weather. When one is
learning to leave the nest, he must be
careful to follow instructions especially
during stormy weather. We got off the
ground a few times, learned to flap our

Monsoon Season
on the Diamond
Flying high, the Falcon baseball
team fought hard and came up with a
winning season. The Falcons averaged
4. 5 runs a game and the opposing team
averaged 2.5 runs a game, but iron¬
ically enough the season ended up 11-
9. Several games were postponed dur¬
ing the rainy baseball season and had
to be rescheduled. Playing a rough
schedule of games against Southwest
District foes led the team to the
tournament. A loss to Marion in the
first game prevented the team from
going further.
Before a crucial game, Coach Bishop hits some high flies and low grounders
to improve fielding abilities of catcher, Darrius Carbary and the rest of the
team.

Girl’s Tennis
I’m a Tennis Nut!
"Are you working on your forehand?", was heard
as the girls tennis team started its second year of
competition. They spent many hours practicing. The
team order was decided in many fast-played chal¬
lenge matches. The team had a 6-7-1 season and
played their home matches at the Glenrochie Country
Club or at the Abingdon Elementary Courts.
Scoreboard
The following teams bowed down
to Abingdon: Tazewell, Richlands,

Resurrect the
Falcon Mascot
Painting Latture Field was
one of the hardest jobs since
practicing for routines at the
U. T. cheerleading camp. We
got ribbons for excellence at
camp and ribbons of "sweat" at
Latture. We had watermelon
parties for football players,
spaghetti dinners for both boys'
and girls' basketball teams,
cheerleading clinics for chil¬
dren, and bake sales for anyone
who wanted to help support the
cause. Putting up spirit signs,
sponsoring pep rallies, and re¬
surrecting the Falcon mascot
took a lot of work but it helped
the school spirit.

J. V. Cheerleaders
Being a Cheerleader
Was Worth It All
Being a JV Cheerleader was not all fun
and games. Practice started early in the
summer at Latture Field. Routine was
broken slightly as we had bake sales and
window washes. But being a JV Cheer¬
leader was really worth it when you
cheered your heart out at a game, and then
your team won. During pep rallies, we also
got to cheer to show that we were really
rooting for our team. Toward the end of
the year, some of us set our goals on
trying out for Varsity Cheerleading.

Falcons Dare
To Associate
Fun has no age limit
When smiles flow
Between persons
Because something has happened
To light an inner glow.
When "we" and "they"
Become "us"
The day is always brighter
The world a better place to know,
The gap between generations
Becomes unimportant
And the power of love begins to show.

Good training is a must; we planned
and sponsored a cookout for new mem¬
bers, had parties for children in the
hospital, visited the nursing home,
modeled in a fashion show and adopted
a family who needed help. A field trip
to VPI encouraged us to plan further.

Work Is Fun
Sometimes
They say you can't mix business
and pleasure; but in Civinettes, it is
hard to distinguish them. It was fun
collecting for the heart fund and
helping with the blood pressure
clinic; it was hard work working out
for football; it was fun, if you were
an old member at initiation and hard
work if you were a new member
during initiation. Hard work provided
a beautiful float for Miss Washington
County in the Burley Parade and the
fun did not come until all the work was
done for the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

Invitation Issued,
Come to the Fair
Who ever heard of a work -night
picnic? The members of the Library-
Club came, had fun eating, and then
worked with librarians on the needs
of the media center. The group spon¬
sored a welfare child remembering
him on special occasions. Having a
tea for the teachers helped make the
week seem just a bit shorter. The
Book Fair sponsored and conducted by
Library Club members gave everyone
the chance to purchase paperback books.

Creative Writing
Published in Quill
Our new Royal typewriter really
got a work-out! When we weren't
using it, the BEACON staff was (and
they appreciated it, too). At our
monthly meetings, we discussed and
judged the creative writing which had
been submitted for publication in the
QUILL. Appropriate art was planned
and the layout staff took the plans to
the publisher. As Ralph Waldo
Emerson said, "The reward of a
thing well done is to have done it. "
At lunch time or during study hall, one could hear
Laura Ryland rythmically typing poems, stories,
and essays for the QUILL.

Apathy Epidemic
Press Issue Here
There was the spark-the de¬
sire to publish a newspaper; there
were a few students and teachers
who fanned the flame, and, as
usual, there was the water bucket
brigade. Our first issue was pub¬
lished in April and we worked fe¬
verishly to report the activities of
the last six weeks of school.
The first edition yelled and
echoed "apathy, apathy. " Perhaps,
again the press has exposed "a
Watergate" and encouraged honor¬
able action and involvement.
Kim Farris and Editor Beth Hughes look over earlier
editions of the TALON for helpful suggestions and
old news.
Yearbook Staff
Beacon Staff Dare
to Meet Deadlines
If you wanted a job done, you gave it
to a busy person. Everyone who stayed
with the staff worked double shifts to
try to meet deadlines. We were identi¬
fying pictures, writing copy, measuring
headlines, and arranging the index after
the advertisements had been sold and
the circulation campaigns were complet¬
ed. Since some of the staff had to re¬
sign, there was not time for "monkey
business" but putting a yearbook to¬
gether is fun.
Co-Editors Cathy Lowe and Suzan Widener check "the Black
Book" for completed pages.
David Blankenship and Brad Ellis, freshman photographers,
prepare the camera for an assignment.
Co-Sponsors Mrs. June Roberts poses be¬
side one of the posters which were do¬

Swedish Friend
Comes to America
Learning how to say Jan Ingemarsson
was the challenge that was thrown at the
students at the beginning of the year. Jan
comes from Broby, Ljungbyholm, Sweden.
He arrived in Abingdon in August, 1974
making his home with the Bill Howards. He
has participated in track and has gone to
other school activities. He learned about
religion, square dancing and other inter¬
esting topics in Humanities, Many seniors
were shocked when their test scores were
lower than Jan's in English class. Jan will
be missed be everyone when he returns to
Sweden in June, 1975.
While patrolling the fence for the Key Club at a football game, Jan
catches a souvenir football.

Mima’s Stay Is
Short but Sweet
From a large town, Sao Paulo, in
Brazil to the small town of Abingdon,
Virginia came Mima Fernandes, a small
dark-haired, dark -eyed exchange stu¬
dent. Mima didn’t stay in our town very
long since she missed the big city atmo¬
sphere. She left and went to Baltimore,
Maryland. During her short stay, Mima
made her home with the Wayne Myers
family. While she was a Falcon she at¬
tended the school functions that took
place and seemed to enjoy them. Her
short stay made it nearly impossible to
get to know Mima very well, but her Am¬
erican family and closest friends en¬
joyed her stay and were very sorry to see
her leave.
Jan relaxes with his American family on the sun-deck of his home.

Damp Victory
"Rain, rain go away, rain on someone elses'
parade", thought the few raincoat clad people at the
Homecoming parade. Spirit week started things
off and a series of spirited events followed. A
pep rally and bonfire brightened things up and
showed the team that the students were backing
them. Alumni were welcomed to the festivities.
During half-time, Sally Hill, Senior class presi¬
dent, accepted the spirit trophy and was crown¬
ed queen. Her court watched with smiles. After
a victory over Marion, it was to the dance.
Although it rained, homecoming was a success.

It's a bird, not a plane. It's Super
Falcon! This Falcon was an added
attraction to the pep rallies. She
walked in with the players and carried
the spirit stick. An air of excitement
was felt as the band played. The teams
were boosted by spirit of many stu¬
dents but for others it was a time to
get out of class. With a standing ova¬
tion the players walked in proudly on
the red carpet.

After a football game or bas¬

reason for liking the sock- hops

enjoyed the dance. Preacher Yeary

"You can't buy a Beacon if your

teacher talent show, sponsored by the
Beacon staff. Teacher's displayed
hidden talent and their efforts were
well rewarded by the appreciation of

and skits were performed and every¬
one seemed to enjoy the antics of the
A.H. S. faculty.
Students and faculty were taken

Students participated, and various
talents were displayed. Each student

A Farewell Toast
to Class of ’75
Following tradition, the Senior Class
Banquet was held at Greenway Party
House on May 30. The seniors enjoyed
the meal and then relaxed to the remi¬
niscing of the good ole days of elemen¬
tary and high school. Toasts were
carried out, as the students toasted
several clubs, activities, and indivi¬
duals. The entertainment brought happy
and sad tears as Patti Elliott, Cindy
Farmer, and Beth Hughes sang "Memo¬
ries”, accompanied by Sharon Brown
and Kathy Taylor. But, no class is per¬
fect; as this was proved when three silver
goblets were missing after the banquet
but were returned the next day.

“The Dear Departed“ Rated Superior
Practice makes perfect and the
one -act play cast proved this when
they received superior ratings.
The play received a superior rating
at the play festival in regional com¬
petition and another superior rating
at state competition. After school,
practice made the school day longer.
Mr. Henry McCarthy spent many
hours practicing with the cast.
There were some behind-the-
scenes people who were also very
important. No play could be pro¬
duced without the help of the stage
crew. Lighting, make-up and
scenery are nearly as important
as the cast.
Donna Emmert pours tea for the members of the family in the play.
Grandpa (Thornton Bowman) appears to the amazement of the family, who

Junior Class Rings
One step closer to becoming a
Senior! With so many different colors
and styles the choice was sometimes
difficult. The fun part came when the
juniors received their rings in front
of the upperclassmen. Sending rings
back wasn't much fun. If the wrong
color, size or stone was sent, the
company had to correct their errors.
The stage, deco rated. with '76 signs
displayed the pride of the class as
they received their coveted class rings.
More than rings were received, pride
and anticipation of the senior year were
also given. There was no doubt who
received their rings that day. A beam¬
ing face was the mark of every junior.
Vicki Heisler, Debbie Lazear and Danny Brittenham seem to have
different choices for the stones for their rings.
Mr. Aubrey Brown congratulates the Juniors on their special day.
Jerry Ball eagerly reaches for his class ring after
being personally congratulated by our principal,
Mr. Brown.
Winners Compete in State Contest
We had our share of talented forensic
winners. They went to District contest. Lisa
Roberts won first place in extemporaneous
speaking, Laura Ryland won first in spelling,
and Debbie Reed won first in original oratory.
Marilou Moore won second place in poetry
reading, Rob Campany won second in poetry
reading and Thornton Bowman took second
place in prose reading. Regional winners in¬
cluded Laura Ryland, first place, Debbie
Reed first, and Rob Campany first place.
Marilou Moore and Thornton Bowman won
second place. Marilou Moore placed third
and Thornton Bowman placed second in the
state meet.
It all started in English classes when
teachers made special assignments. "Do
your own thing", whether you read prose oi
poetry or made speeches. We didn't like
the assignments very much until the medals
were presented.
194
A Latin Holiday
Roman dress, decorations, music and food
were all a part of the festivities of the Latin Ban¬
quet. Students from all Mrs. Pless's Latin classes
were invited. The stage band provided the music
for the banquet. If strangers had walked into the
cafeteria, where the banquet was held, they would
have thought they they were in old Rome.
Roman columns and a statuette fountain add to the beauty
of the decorations of the banquet.
Dressed in Roman fashion are Connie Martin, Greg Ellis, and Rob
Campany on their way to the banquet.
Romans Sandy Johnson, Bradley Thayer, and Phillip Bradley prepare to start playing the music.

He Loves Me . . .
He Loves Me Not . . .
'Til give you a daisy a day, dear"
was the theme of the Spring Formal
sponsored by the National Honor Soc¬
iety. The theme was carried out in the
decorations as a Springy atmosphere
filled the cafeteria. Bright streamers
and flower pots of daisies and a color¬
ful bulletin board carried out the theme
even further. A new local band, Bonque,
played for the dance and their brass
section was something different from
the other bands we have had. Donna
Hannah was crowned May Queen and
individual pictures were taken of the
couples. Many people expressed their
opinion that this was one of the better
dances of the year.

New Dance
With Old Ideas
"We’re gonna rock around the clock to¬
night"! Bobby socks, long skirts, shades,
ponytails, greasy kid stuff, and black leather
jackets were the attire worn to the 50's dance,
held in the gym. Pop’s Malt Shop was the place
to go to cool off with ice cream sodas. The
Challengers, a strictly 50 ’s band, played four
hours of music full of "Beach Baby, " "Great
Pretender", and other hits of the "good old
days". The S. C. A. sponsored the groovy hap¬
pening and it was completely new and enjoy¬
able from the dances to the bubblegum blowing
contest, won by Mary Hughes. This was the
first 50’s dance we had ever had, but not many
people came to enjoy it.

We May Never Pass This Way Again
This theme was very true for many Seniors.
The Junior class sponsored the prom in honor of
the Seniors as their gift to all graduates. Line-
marque provided the music for this, formal oc¬
casion. The prom was held in the gym of Abing¬
don Elementary School. The walls of the gym
were covered with paper resembling bricks with
clinging vine, the dance floor had bright green
paper hedges and baskets of paper roses scat¬
tered about. For many Seniors the prom was the
last dance they would attend as students.
Anthony Anderson and Linda Ross take a break and en¬
joy their conversation.
The dance floor was crowded with couples dancing
to the beat.
Couples, couples everywhere! ! and everybody had a good time.

No Senior Assembly,
Class Night Instead
Flying in the face of custom, this
year’s Senior Class dared to be dif¬
ferent. We broke the tradition of having
a senior assembly. Awards in the aca¬
demic and athletic assemblies for Sen¬
iors were held for presentation at class
night. Achievements from every aspect
of high school were recognized. The
class poem, prophecy, and will were
also read. Senior superlatives were
announced and scholarships were pre¬
sented.
Mr. Aubrey Brown presents perfect attendance
medals to Frank Atwell, (12 yrs. ), Linda Norris,
(8 yrs. ), Ruth Canter, (8 yrs. ), Lisa Reedy, (1
yr. ), Dolores Carbary, (1 yr. ), Mark Henry, (7

Preparation for Graduation Is a Handful
Preparation for graduation started
early as one winter day we were called
to the cafeteria to order our announce¬
ments and caps and gowns for our spring
graduation. We also ordered our senior
class jewelry at this time. This was only
the beginning, as shown by the senior
class sponsors who also said prepara¬
tion for graduation was a headache. But
the preparation was the last step to grad¬
uation which we all took with one giant
leap.
The boys of the Senior Class, under strict super¬
vision of Mrs. Roberts, await their turn to file into
position.
There are many different things one can do with her hands while making
a decision, as demonstrated by Mrs. Sandra Jonas, Marsha Jones, Patti
Elliott and Carletta Warren.

A former teacher, Mr. Harry
Denton, laid it on the line. He said
we should be tuned in to the finer things
of life. The order of worship also
included scripture and prayer and two
musical selections sung by a girls'
ensemble.
About one half of the senior class were present for
the baccalaureate. After lining up in the gym,
Melanie Harris, Beth Hughes, Lee Phipps, and
others march to the auditorium.

Rain Clouds Mar
Outdoor Graduation
A beautiful outdoor graduation had
been "the dream", but rain-filled clouds
emptied themselves on the track field
Thursday and there was not enough sun¬
shine to soak it all up on Friday. At
seven o'clock, we were lined up in the
gym ready for that final march into
the auditorium.

All one hundred and eighty-four of us are on the stage because the Class president Sally Hill presides,
other seats were filled with relatives and friends.
210
With "Pomp and Circumstance, " the
class marched to the stage. After the in¬
vocation by the chaplain, Becky Barnett,
the top four seniors spoke proudly and ad¬
monished, "Be careful, strive to be happy
for tomorrow is the first day of the rest of
your life. Travel hopefully; it is better
than to arrive. Develop the spiritual man,
within you and make love your aim” and
the fifth speaker added "Strive to maintain
your i nd i vidual ity ' ' .
Mr. Karl Reedy presented the top ten
percent of the class and Mr. Aubrey Brown
presented the diplomas. After the bene¬
diction by Sgt. -at-Arms. Micheal Gregory,
we merged with the establishment.

A famous landmark, Martha Washington Inn draws tourists into our town.
The new look of Peoples Drug Store adds to the appearance of
historic Abingdon.
One of the businesses on the west end of town is Roberts
Tire and Recapping.

Ten years from now, when you pick up this
annual, you will have access to at least 15
new electric appliances that don't even exist
today!
Electrical innovations will "make the scene”
(as we say in 1974) to benefit health, educa¬
tion, industry and our social lives. You’ll also
see in the next decade more electronic equip¬
ment to purify, filter, recycle and generally
clean up America.
Electricity is doing a lot of things for you
now. It’s going to do a lot more tomorrow.
Our prediction: Life will keep on getting better
— electrically.
